Rebekah and Klaus, who had taken the Dagger from Elena, had left the Abattoir before Elena, who wanted some time to herself. She had killed Humans before, but that was an act to keep up appearances with everyone in Mystic Falls and she had regretted killing them, but the Vampires. She had killed them without a second thought and it terrified her. She knew that being apart of the Mikaelson Family meant that there would be times where she'd have no choice but to kill to keep her Family safe.
By the time Elena had gotten back to the Plantation, she realised that she was covered in blood and was glad that no one had been awake in the early hours of the morning while she had been walking through the Quarter. Heading upstairs, Elena went to walk straight for the bathroom, only she paused when she heard a car pull up and realised that Hayley and Elijah were back.
"-Elijah is home. There's only one Dagger."She heard Rebekah say as she came by the room that Klaus and Rebekah were in, and paused before she stepped into the room."Which one of us will you be punishing today?"The female blonde Original asked, glancing at Elena and grimaced when she saw that Elena was still covered in blood. It was smeared on her face, some was even in her hair and her hands were covered in blood.
"I contemplated a game of eeny meeny miny moe."Klaus said before he disappeared, only to reappear behind Rebekah and wrapped one arm around her neck in a choke hold while pointing the Dagger upwards at her chin."You betrayed me, my own Sister."He hissed at Rebekah, while looking at Elena."And you, going along with it and then acting like you had no idea and helped me."
"That's not true."Elena said, shaking her head.
"Stop lying!"Klaus snarled and Elena gasped when he let go of Rebekah and appeared in front of her, grabbing her by the neck and pushed her into the closest wall, and held the Dagger at her heart."You were plotting with them this whole time, admit it!"Klaus yelled in her face.
"I'm telling you the truth."Klaus looked at her, not believing her for a second."Do it. You know I'm not afraid of being Daggered."Elena said softly."Why would I help you if I wanted to punish you, I could've just watch, but I helped"Elena stressed the word helped."you because I know you had no idea that your child could Sire Hybrids."Elena explained."I know that because I was once key to making your Hybrids."Elena added as an after thought.
"Niklaus, don't you dare."Elijah said in a warning voice as he came to stand next to Rebekah, having come up the stairs at Vampire speed.
Klaus turned, keeping Elena pinned to the wall."Well, perhaps it should be you, Brother,"Klaus let go of Elena and backed away as Rebekah pulled Elena gently to stand partly behind her and Elijah."stealing my child away with every fawning moment of tenderness you and Elena show to Hayley."
"This has nothing to do with Hayley."Elijah said calmly as he gave Elena a worried glance, wondering what had happened in his absence.
"It has everything to do with her!"Klaus exclaimed, enraged as he pointed the Dagger at Elijah and the trio remained silent as they looked at Klaus."She's adored you since she arrived, she's adored your Mate since she woke Elena up from her protected slumber, and now my child, my blood, will grow up to call you Father."Klaus spat angrily.
"Is that what this is?"Rebekah suddenly spoke up, tears in her eyes."You are once again worried that you will be left behind?"Rebekah asked questionably."Has history taught you nothing? We don't abandon you, Nik. You drive us away, you're driving Elena away, right now!"Rebekah gestured at Elena causing Klaus to look at her to see her looking back at him with tears in her eyes and her lower lip trembling.
Klaus lowered the Dagger as he stared at her."Is that so?"Klaus asked softly."What have I done lately other then cooperate?"Tears formed in his own eyes before he pointed the Dagger at Elena."I helped keep you safe, Little Sister, I turned your into an Original for your own good, made you a Mikaelson."He then pointed the Dagger at Elijah."I bowed down to you, Brother,"A single tear slid down his cheek."to make up for Daggering you, for the greater good of our plan to reclaim our home."Klaus turned to Rebekah next."Looked the other way, Sister, while you repeat the same cycle with Marcel, falling again for a man you shouldn't be with, while he controls the Empire that we built that he took."Klaus glanced between all three of them."Now, I make no excuses for past sins, but in the one moment when all of you could have chosen to stand by me, to believe in me. And believe my intentions for my own child were pure,"He looked directly at Elijah when he said that."you chose to stand against me, to side with my enemies."He glanced between Elena and Rebekah, still not believing Elena."I wanted our home back. Now I have it. So I'm going to live there, and the three of you, you can stay here together and rot."
After handing Elijah the Dagger, he went to leave, only for Elena to stand in his way."I won't try to persuade you anymore, Klaus."Elena said softly."I'm not lying to you, and I can't make you believe me, so believe what you want."Klaus stared at her coldly before he pushed past her.
After hearing Klaus leave the house, Elena looked at Rebekah with slightly angry expression on her face."Rebekah what were you thinking about pulling such a stupid stunt with Marcel! You should've known that those pathetic Vampires are no match for Klaus. How did you think that show was gonna end?"Elena scolded her questionably.
Rebekah stared at Elena with a guilty look on her face."I didn't want to stand for anymore of Nik's antics!"Rebekah explained herself."Why did you have to involve yourself, Elena?"Rebekah questioned Elena.
"Because no matter how cruel Nik is, Rebekah, he's still our Brother, and I thought that if I helped him regain the Abattoir, it might be good for this Family, good for us."Elena explained herself.
Rebekah went to say something but Elijah quickly spoke up."Enough."He said sharply and Rebekah snapped her mouth shut."Elena, go get yourself cleaned up. I need to talk with Rebekah in private."Frowning slightly, Elena turned on her heels and exited the room, heading for the bathroom and heard the door shut behind her.
